A woman in a striped dress stands beside two plump roosters. The colors are flat and bright like a modern poster. Her face is blank, and the roosters have cartoonish expressions. This looks like Art Nouveau’s playful side. Posters in the 1890s often used bold colors and outlines. The artist, George Auriol, also wrote songs and poems. Look up Art Nouveau posters if you like this style.
